TULUM. Magnificent limestone temples cast their shadows over pristine blue waters at the dramatic, awe-inspiring Mayan city of Tulum. Although throngs of tourists flock here on any given day, the site is a must-see for any Cancún visitor. The Castillo stands out as the largest structure in the ruins, although the two-story Temple of the Frescoes attracts just as many sightseers. Visitors can also enjoy a refreshing dip in Tulum Cove, an ancient port that launched Mayan trading ships. Religious in origins yet attractive to the fashionable upper crust as well, Tulum is the only known Mayan coastal city and well deserves its reputation as one of the most hauntingly beautiful destinations in Mexico. About two hours drive south of Cancún.
